ViewResolvers with excel views

I have two ordinary jsp pages in my Spring 3 application, and one is Excel view. The Excel wiev does not open Microsoft Excel sheet at all even thougt it should. I think it's a Resolver issue now.

I made views.properties:

xl.(class)=fi.utu.seurantaraporttisuodatin.service.Raportti index.class=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView index.url=/WEB-INF/jsp/index.jsp success.class=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView success.url=/WEB-INF/jsp/success.jsp

defined it:

and got the error:

HTTP Status 500 -

type Exception report

message

description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.

exception

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/6.0.20 logs. Apache Tomcat/6.0.20

I'm not sure if I'm solving my problem right at all. I could really use some help!

you should use index.(class)=org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView instead of index.class=...
